Publisher's Notes
From the weird and wonderful imagination of an amazing new artist comes an alphabet book like no other. Kids will delight in discovering animals from A to Z living together in an old Victorian mansion. They'll meet an elephant in the ballroom playing with a model train, an octopus hanging from the foyer chandelier--and even a zebra enjoying a soak in the bathtub!
Using watercolours and colored pencils, Wallace Edwards has created a bizarre and luxurious world, rich in texture and detail. An engaging mix of art and alphabet book, Alphabeasts provides the basis for hours of animated discussion and quiet contemplation.

The Alphazeds
by Shirley Glaser
The Alphazeds begins with an empty room, which begins filling up with some extraordinary-looking letters. As each letter appears on the scene, it boldly announces its personality: A is angry all the time; B couldn't be more bashful; and K comes in kicking everyone else out of the way. Will the rambunctious letters ever be able to coexist long enough to work together? Charming and utterly original, The Alphazeds cleverly teaches the alphabet and new words to children, while also introducing them to the art of typography in a fresh and enjoyable way.

ALPHABEASTS
Edwards, Wallace
Kids Can Press Ltd.. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket 2002. Hardcover. Excellent near new condition, a little scuffing of the jacket, no markings, light edge wrinkling. "Imagine a slightly dilapidated Victorian house occupied solely by animals and you have the premise of this beautifully illustrated, faintly surreal alphabet book. Each letter is illustrated by a full-page picture of an animal (or bird) caught in an amusing or enigmatic pose that is described in a two-line rhyming caption; e. G. , "A is for alligator / awake from a dream, " "B is for bat / slurping ice cream. " Many of the pictures are quite funny: an octopus changing a light; a yak painting itself into a corner; a pig tucked in for the night.... ; 4to 11" - 13" tall .
